Finally

After almost a week of being sick in bed I finally made it out to somewhere other then school and the grocery store. Last night several friends and I attented an opening for an artist we met, held at the Rathausfoyer (the city hall). The artist's name is Guiseppe Blasotta, originally from Italy he has spent the last 10 years painting in Heidelberg. The opening was nice, despite the large number of people in a small space, and the homeless man attempting to blend in among the crowd for the free food, drinks & warmth.

After the opening we enjoyed dinner at a nice italian restraunt just off the Marktplatz, and then a few drinks at Eckstein's before heading home in the frigid weather. The colder it gets it seems the slower and less frequently the trolley's run, even though thier schedule has not changed. There are however certain hours that for no explainable reason no trolley runs (between 11-12pm there is no #23 trolley) so we chose to pay the money for the cab rather then wait an hour for the next trolley or walk the mile and a half home in the cold, wet, windy darkness.

Today I am hoping the sun will come out so that I can go down to the Hauptstrasse and do some shopping, and maybe check out the castle again for some more photos. As of right now it is cold, wet & grey outside.
